    Article summary

    When upgrading to a new version of FIMS you may see the following errors regarding Crystal:
     ** Error Compiling E:\npo\found\FIMS\odbc\crystal\filename.p
     Along with:
     ** Error=This version of PROGRESS compiles only encrypted programs. (1086)

    Answer:

    1. Go to the file referenced in the error message and open using Notepad typically either in FIMS\ODBC\Crystal or FIMS\CustomSRC\ODBC\Crystal, depending on the path listed in the message.
    2. Find the line that contains the path and filename that was displayed in the error message that ends with rpt for example as shown below:

    3. Go to FIMS\Tools\System Utilities\Admin Utilities\Dynamic Menu Maintenance
    4.  Find the report that you opened in step 2 above in the list being sure that you are looking at the entry with Custom listed in the Parent column: 

    5. Click on Edit Menu Item
    6. Change the action to begin with ODBC\Crystal\RunCrystal.w then add a space then the Crystal report path and filename as shown below in the 2nd screenshot: 

    Note this is just an example, your reports may be on a different drive other than C:

    odbc\crystal\RunCrystal.w C:\npo\found\FIMS\Odbc\Crystal\Operating_Budget_by_Month.rpt

    7. Click Save on the menu item
    8. Once you verify your changes are saved you can delete the  .p file and the related  .r file that was originally referenced in the compile error. If your report is in CustomSRC\ODBC\Crystal then you will need to delete the corresponding files in Custom\ODBC\Crystal.
